Looking at their previous head-to-head matches dating back to September 19, 2020, there hasn’t been much competition between the teams, with Borussia Dortmund winning three of them, Gladbach winning three, and 0 ending in regulation time ties. Those games featured a ton of goals, 23 in total, with an average of 3.83 goals per game.
On November 11, 2022, Borussia Mönchengladbach defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-2 in the Bundesliga 1 matchday 15 finales, which was the final league game in which both clubs competed.
Borussia Mönchengladbach enjoyed 39% of the day’s possession and 6 out of 11 shot attempts were successful. Jonas Hofmann (4′), Ramy Bensebani (26′), Marcus Thuram (30′), and Kouadio Koné (46′) scored the goals.

For Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzi, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (unknown injury), Thomas Meunier (muscle injury), Julien Duranville (muscle partial avulsion), and Mateu Morey Bauzà (fitness) are unavailable.
The 4-3-3 formation, which includes Gregor Kobel, Julian Ryerson, Niklas Süle, Mats Hummels, Tom Rothe, Jude Bellingham, Emre Can, Julian Brandt, Donyell Malen, Sebastien Haller, and Karim Adeyemi, is what we believe Dortmund will deploy.
Only one player’s fitness is a problem for Daniel Farke, the Gladbach manager, out of a group that is generally healthy. Marcus Thuram (Torn Muscle Fibre) won’t be participating in the game. Due to his suspension, Alassane Plea cannot participate in this game.
By selecting Jan Olschowsky, Stefan Lainer, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi, Ramy Bensebaini, Julian Weigl, Manu Koné, Nathan N’Goumou, Florian Neuhaus, Jonas Hofmann, and Semir Telalovic, we believe Gladbach will most likely play in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
In our opinion, Borussia Dortmund should be able to convert a couple of the opportunities that they create and will likely maintain control for extended periods of time. Borussia Mönchengladbach will face challenges scoring goals, but we see them doing so as well.
